PENSION OFFICE SALARIES COT DOWN Appointments, Promotions and Re- movals in the Treasury. RESULT OF LEGISLATION This is the last business day of the fiscal year, and in many qvarters it is a sad day of reckoning. Owing to the retrenchment Injected into all the appropriation bills ‘ast winter, there are more than the usual number of dismissals and reductions at the end of the year. In the pension office seventy-six clerks were today notified that their salaries would be less next year than during the past twelvemonth. Four $1,800 clerks were reduced to $1,600,thirteen $1,600 clerks were reduced to $1,400, twenty $1,400 clerks were cut down to $1,200, one $1,800 man was cut down to $1,200 and a number of $1,200 men were reduced to $900, These reductions were made to bring the pay of the entire force within the appro- priation. As the dismissals at the begin- ning of June were not made within the classes of clerks as provided by law, it was necessary, in order to keep a number of clerks whose record was good and whose services were really desired by the com- missioner, to subject them to a reduc- ticn of their salary. This to most of them was perfectly satisfactory, under the cir- cumstances, as they would rather have a lower salary than none. A number of reductions were made by way of correction and punishment. It was discovered some days ago that a small ring of women clerks employed not far from the commissioner's office had been for several months enjoying leaves of absence to which they were not entitled, and at a time when they were not excusable on ac count of sickness. No report being made of these leaves, the scheme worked success- fully for quite a long while. When it was discovered, instead of making the dismiss- als that might have been expected for con- duet of such a reprehensible character, the clerks invelved were severely reprimanded, und today their folly received its merited, but mitigated, penalty in the form of a re- duction of salary. in the various bureaus of the Interior De- partment the net reductions are smal!l—but five salaries being cut down, and these in the $900 class. There have been decreases in the various offices, but as vacancies oc- curred by resignation and death other clerks that would otherwise have been cut down have been transferred. Five dismissals in the Post Office Depart- ment were met by similar transfers, so that but one clerk of the $720 class has been laid off, and this one will undoubtedly be transferred to soine vacancy before Monday dawns. The Treasury Department. A large number of changes took place in the Treasury Department today in addition to those in the coast and geodetic survey previously announced in The Star. A list of the changes has been prepared at the ‘Treasury Department. It is complete with a few exceptions, which will probably be announced later.

An order has been issued to Admiral Nor- ton, in command of the South Atlantic station, to have his flagship, the Newark, now at Montevideo, docked at Rio Janeiro, Brazil, there being no dock at Montevideo large enough to admit the Newark. This is a great disappointment to the relatives and friends of those who are aboard the Newark, as it was expected that she would be ordered north when she needed docking, especially as the terms of her men are about to expire. When she was last docked she was sent across the Atlantic to Cape Town, Africa. The docks at Rio not u: se of the prevalence of ow fever there at that time and con- agion was feared. It is claimed by those ho are trying to haye the Newark sent home that yellow fever stiil exists and dan- ger is apprehended. bee Louis H. Berry Struck James Newsom With a Bat. The Blow Thought to Have Been in Self-Defense — Tragedy at Carlin Springs. James A. Newsom, a doorkeeper at the Capitol, died vesterday morning as the re- sult of injuries recetved at the hands of young Louis H. Berry at Carlin Springs, Va., late Thursday evening. Newsom was struck upon the head with a base ball bat. According to the stories of those who are familiar with the incidents of the case the blew was struck in self-defense. One of the best informed residents of Carlin Springs said to a Star reporter this morn- ing that in his opinion it would be impos- sible to find a jury in Virginia which would hold Berry on any charge. Carlin Springs is a smull hamlet located abcut midway between the Aqueduct bridge and Falls Church. One of the most re- spected families 1s the Carter family. Mr. Carter rune a grocery store. They are in rather straitened circumstances, and this summer Mrs. Carter thought to increase the revenues by taking bourders. Among the first to reply to the advertisement in a lccal paper was Mr. Newscm, and about a@ week ago he and-his wife and a Mrs. Marquett, a friend of the latter, took rooms with Mrs. Carter. Mr. Carter was absent when the fatal occurrence took place. Had Been Drinking. Newsom has always had a reputation around Washington of being something of a drinking man. He was in town 'Thurs- day, and when he retvrned to his summer home took with him some fruit and other dainties for the ladies and also sev- eral bottles of whisky for his own consump- tion. He had been drinking during his stay in town, and continued after he got back. Finally he got aimseif into an ugly state of intoxication, and was locking for trouble. After supper he had some words with his wife, and it is said that he struck her. At any rate, she had had experiences with him before under such circumstances and as she was thoroughly frightened she got a son of Mrs. Carter to drive the two ladies and Mrs. Marquett’s young daugh- ter into town, where they took up quar. ters at the Emrich Hor: This left only Mrs. Carter, her daughter, a young lady of about eighteen, and a small son at the house with Newsom, who hy this time was getting to be more than troublesome. The Tesult was that they called in Louis Berry, a neighbor, who has for some time been quite devoted to Miss Carter. He at once went to the house and was urged to re- main as a protector. Newsom had gone off to his room, but later began rushing through the house in a condition clos: approaching nudity. It is said that Berr twice took Newsom to his room and en- deavored to quiet him, but without effect. The Fatal Blow. Newsom again came into the room where Mrs. Carter and her daughter were sit- ting, and Berry had more difficulty in get- ting him back to his apartments. This time Berry stayed in the room with him, and young Carter, a boy of about twelve, was also present. According to the latter, Newsom, who was acting like a crazy man, went through the motions of drawing a pistol from under his pillow and started for Berry, so that both the latter and young Carter were of the opinion that he had a weupon in his hand. Berry picked up a small base ball bat, which happened to be lying near, and struck at Newsom, ap- parently in self-defense. The blow had lit- tle effect, and the infuriated man, who Was much larger than Berry, continued to advance. Berry struck him a second time, and this was the fatal blow. Newsom was struck on the side of the head and fell to the floor like a log. Berry and young Carter were greatly frightened by what had occurred, but at once ran for a physician. Dr. Boswell was soon at the side of the injured man and everything possible was done for him; yesterday morning Dr. James A. Kerr of this city was summoned. Newsom lingered until about 9 o'clock yesterday morning without Mrs. Newsom telegraph, but did not see the body until this morning. It was brought to town last evening in a wagon and left at an undertaker’s in Georgetown. It will be shipped to Mem- phis this evening. Berry's actions after the affray were those of a man who felt that he was justi- fied In what he had done. As soon as he knew that Newsom was dead he at once left for the home of Sheriff Veitch, in- tending to give himself up. The sheriff was not at home, and Berry then went to Alex- andria, where he consulted with an at- torney as to what he should do. After- ward the young man returned to his fa- ther’s home at Carlin Springs, and was in evidence all the evening, making no at- tempt to avoid or to conceal anything. ‘There was no warrant out for him, and as the sheriff knew he would make no at- tempt to get away he was not placed un- der arrest. At 6 o’clock an Inquest was held at the Carter residence and young Berry, as well as the members of the Car- ter fumily, gave their evidence freely. The jury decided simply that Newsom came to his death as a result of a biow, inflicted by a base ball bat, in the hands of Louis H. Berry. The Two Men. Berry is an intelligent young man of about twenty years and has always borne an excellent reputation in the neighbor- hood. Those who know him say that he would not have struck the blow except under the most grievous provocation. New- som, too, has always borne a good reputa- tion—when not In his cups. He comes of an excellent family in Tennessee, but has long had a weakness for drink. When sober he was an attractive and en- tertaining man, and was regarded as quite a strong factor in polities in Memphis. It was through the Influence of Representa- tive Patterson, who was indebted to him for some political favors, that he secured @ position in this city. He was a man of about forty-two years of age, and had means outside of his salary, his mother, who is quite wealthy, freqhently sending him remittances. A couple of months ago Mr. Patterson endeavored to get him to go home for the summer, and went so far as to get him a railroad ticket on his prom- ise to go to Memphis on the same train. This Newsom did not do, but remained here and sold his railroad ticket in order to raise funds for a big carouse. —_— THE DAMROSCH SOCIETY. . A Good Showing Made of Its First Season of Existence.

TORIES ARE EAGER AND CONFIDENT The Primrose League to Rally to Salisbury. COMPLETING THE CABINET Special Cable Letter. Associated Press. LONDON, June 29.—The dissolution of Parliament, which, as the Marquis of Salis- bury intimated in the house of lords yes- terday, will most likely take place on July 8, will be the death knell of the season here, snd in a fortnight there will be a general exodus to the country. On all sides the agents of both parties are actively preparing for the fray. The rust is being rubbed off the timeworn suits of political armor and all the old weapons of a British electoral campaign are being bur- nished up to the highest point of bright- ness. Quiet canyassing is already going on in some quarters, and the Primrose League is preparing to rally to the standard of the Marquis of Salisbury the army of tories eager for the battle, and the result of which Is locked upon as certain to be a victory for conservatism. The campaign will begin in deadly earn- est next week, when Lord Rosebery, the ex-premiler, will fire the first battery of big gurs for the liberals. in his speech at the Royal Albert Hall, South Kensington, and the same day Sir William Vernon Harcourt, ex-chancellor of the exchequer, will pour hot shot into the tory ranks in an address which he is to deliver at Derby, the seat which he has represented in parliament since 1880. Following the booming of these heavy pieces of political artillery will be heard a fierce reply frcm the batteries of some of the leaders of the conservative and union- ist parties, including the Marquis of Salis- bury, A. J. Balfour and Joseph Chamber- lain, now dubbed “Judas” by the Irish nationalists; and then the firing will be taken up all along the Hnes of both the liberal and conservative forces and the en- gagement will become general. Every man on each side who can be expected to win a vote by a speech will be called upon to do so,2nd a hot exchange of recriminations wiil fill the air until the polling ciears away the smoke of battle. The Queen Pleased. Vanity Fair says: “It is understood that the queen is greatly pleased at the change of government and she hoped that a very solid and able minister would be selected to control the admiralty department as first lord of the admiralty. Her majesty has recently been devoting much attention to the British navy and to the relative strength of the navies of the world. Cut- tings from various newspapers comment- ing on the subject are collected, and these, with the opinions of experts, are read to the queen, who listens most attentively and has notes made for future reference.” Completing the Cabinet. The work of building up the cabinet Is finished and Mr. George N. Curzon, mem- ber for Southwest Lancashire, is under sec- retary of state for foreign affairs, which office, however, does not carry with it the honor of a seat in the cabinet. But it is not quite certain that Mr.Curzon will be re- elected, as Mr. Naylor-Leyland, also a con- servative, has announced his intention of contesting Southwest Lancashire against Mr. Curzon, and as both gentlemen are married to American ladies, who are going to take part in the campaign, a most in- teresting political battle may be anticipated. It was reported yesterday on good au- thority that Lord Dunraven, who was un- Ger secretary for the colonies from Angust, 1886, to February, IS87, was likely to be @ member of the hew Cabinet. His fitness for a cabinet position is generally recog- nized among the conservative party lead- ers, although it is generally, but errone- ously, supposed that he cares for nothing but yachting. But his name, however, was not among the chosen. Bimetallists Pleased. The Bimetallic League Is naturally pleased that the Marquis of Salisbury is again premier, and {ts members are pre- paring for some active work at the ap- proaching general election. They are also greatly pleased at the weighty character of the signatures which they obtained to the recent memorial, showing that bimetallism had representative supporters among the bankers, Including cight directors of the Bank of England, in addition to a num- ber of prominent members of the industrial classes and labor organizations. The league is convinced that the bankers’ anti- bimetallic memorial was inspired by Sir William Vernon Harcourt, the former chan- cellor of the exchequer, being forced to support the bimetallic resolution in the house of commons, when he saw the pos- sibility of having to appoint delegates to a conference. The league explains the absence of Mr. Balfour's signature by saying that he and Mr. Henry Chaplin thought It discourteous to sign a memorial addressed to the leader of the house of, commons when they were leading his opponents. WINDSOR, June 29.—The retiring cabinet ministers delivered their seals of office to the queen at Windsor castie this after- noon, and later her majesty presented the seals to the incoming ministers, oe REVENUE CUTTER SERVICE, Copyrighted, 1895, by the Practically Deprived of Its Lowest Grade in Line and Staff, A peculiar state of affairs exists in the revenue cutter service in that it is practi- cally deprived of Its lowest grade in line and staff, viz., third Neutenants and second assistant engineers. The temporary deple- tion of these two grades is due to the wholesale promotions in the servis re- sulting from the retirement of a%great many officcrs in the highest grades. The lew provides for thirty-three third lieuten- ants and about twenty secord assistant en- gineers of the junior grade. Ten cadets are under instruction at New London, but they cannot be commissioned in the higher grade for a year yet. Seven young men have recently pa the examination for appointment as cadets, but they cannot en- ter the service at present. The chances are that the vecant grades cannot be filled for several months yet, alt h the six or seven surplus du of the Naval Acad- year will probably be a: ad to venue cutter service.
